Ecological perturbations caused by biotic invasion have been identified as a growing threat
to global sustainability. Invasive alien plants species (IAPS) are considered to be one of the …

Unprecedented rates of introduction and spread of non-native species pose burgeoning
challenges to biodiversity, natural resource management, regional economies, and human …

Our ability to predict the identity of future invasive alien species is largely based upon
knowledge of prior invasion history. Emerging alien species—those never encountered as …

Increasing evidence—synthesized in this paper—shows that economic growth contributes to
biodiversity loss via greater resource consumption and higher emissions. Nonetheless, a …

Abstract “One hundred worst” lists of alien species of the greatest concern proved useful for
raising awareness of the risks and impacts of biological invasions amongst the general …

A good understanding of the mechanisms and magnitude of the impact of invasive alien
species on ecosystem services and biodiversity is a prerequisite for the efficient prioritisation …

Species moved by human activities beyond the limits of their native geographic ranges into
areas in which they do not naturally occur (termed aliens) can cause a broad range of …

Many alien taxa are known to cause socio‐economic impacts by affecting the different
constituents of human well‐being (security; material and non‐material assets; health; social …

Study of the impacts of biological invasions, a pervasive component of global change, has
generated remarkable understanding of the mechanisms and consequences of the spread …

Ecology Letters (2011) 14: 702–708 Abstract Biological invasions cause ecological and
